System Registry Scan & Clean quickly seeks, cleans and removes erroneous or obsolete registry entries, to keep your computer system stable and free of performance issues,
Registry Defragmentation removes gaps and fragmentation to produce a compact registry that takes up less system space and consumes fewer memory resources. The result is your computer has the best possible access to its registry, so system and application speeds are improved. PC Optimization provides a detailed list of recommended tweaks intended to improve both computer performance and the actual experience of using a computer. To save time and keep things simple, the Smart PC TuneUp tool provides System Registry Scan & Clean, Registry Defragmentation, and PC Optimization features, all in one place at the click of one button.
Backup & Restore gives you the power to restore your system to the way it was before a virus or crash occurred by creating backup copies of your files at different points in time. An auto-backup feature creates a snapshot every time a repair or tuneup is performed, helping you protect your entire system. StartUp Management identifies what applications or programs launch at system startup. You can then prevent unneeded programs from starting when you turn on your computer, freeing up system resources and speeding up PC startup times.
The Scheduler helps you easily automate system registry scan, clean, and defrag tasks, and create automatic registry snapshots for backing up and restoring your PC. There is also easy access to Hard Disk Clean and Hard Disk Defrag, two tools provided by Windows to optimize hard disks. Engineered by IntelÂ® Software Partner CompuClever, PC TuneUp Maestro protects your system while enhancing computer performance, speed and stability.

It downloaded itself onto my new laptop when I downloaded Google Chrome. It took control of the computer. Now, it said Microsoft silver competency, but any program that deceptively piggybacks itself onto an unsuspecting computer is the very essence of malware.

Remove it by uninstalling the program.

Summary

Don't touch it, don't run it, just get rid of it. It is deceptive in every way.

It just appeared one day. I did not download from CNET. Maybe this is a corrupted version of a good program, but it corrupted the uninstall process (However, I see I can buy its uninstaller from its website. hmm.) Internet Explorer will no longer open and its uninstaller also corrupted, so I can't delete and reinstall. Last good start - gone. Be so very careful.

Lots of tools to address a variety of problems, new tools got added after purchase too. When trying to speed up my system I found a variety of tools to address different causes. Have never encountered a problem with using the program. 60 day money back guarantee on the purchase.

Cons

Trial is function limited.

Summary

Have recommended the program to family and friends and they all use the program still. Lots of tools and the support has been quick to answer my questions via email. Can be used to maintain the performance of the computer and to address lots of problems you get in Windows and with the internet.
